Meet Dr. Daniel Grob

Daniel Grob, DDS, MS

I love being an orthodontist! After practicing for 25 years in Tucson, I sold my successful practice and moved to Scottsdale with my wife of over 30 years, Nancy, to join our ASU-educated children.

Once we settled in, I realized I needed to get back to doing what I love: helping people feel more confident in their smiles! So I opened Valley Orthodontic Group within the Happy Campers Pediatric Dentistry office in Peoria.

I am especially pleased to focus much of my practice on pediatric orthodontics, ensuring children learn healthy habits and providing treatment that helps their face develop properly. Thoughtful, comprehensive diagnostics and early interventional treatment decreases the likelihood of complex issues as a child grows.

It is just as rewarding, though, to work with adult patients, giving each the confident and beautiful smile they have desired for years!

I feel fortunate to do what I love, every day, and to know my work makes a lasting, positive impact on each person I treat: they have improved oral health, greater self-esteem, and a smile they love to share!

Education and Experience

All of my dental, orthodontic, and prosthodontic schooling was completed at Marquette University School of Dentistry, in Wisconsin. There I completed my Doctorate of Dental Surgery (DDS), Master of Science (MS), and received numerous awards upon graduation.

I’m particularly honored by the induction into the Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society and the ASN honorary Jesuit fraternity. I also received the American Society of Dentistry for Children senior student award for exemplary work with young patients.

Throughout my career, in addition to being in private practice and treating patients, I have been fortunate to hold the following positions:

President of the Southern Arizona Dental Society
Director of the Cleft Lip and Palate Clinic at Tucson Medical Center CCRS Clinics
Instructor of Histology and Embryology at Pima Community College
Assistant Professor of Prosthodontics at the Marquette University School of Dentistry
Assistant Professor of Orthodontics at the Marquette University School of Dentistry
Member of the Invisalign® Speakers Bureau
Editorial Director for Orthotown Magazine

I was honored to be asked to publish in the prestigious American Journal of Orthodontics and Dentofacial Orthopedics, following my presentation of treated patients to the American Board of Orthodontics. I am a Certified Diplomate through this organization. Additionally, I have published in Dental Clinics of North America and Orthotown Magazine.

To this day, I enjoy working with local school districts on topics related to children’s oral health, as well as activities with Marquette University.

Continuing Education and Professional Affiliations

A constant theme, since I completed my studies at Marquette University, has been continuing my education. Orthodontics is a constantly changing specialty, with research leading to numerous new technologies, materials, and methodologies.

Each year new options become available and it is crucial I stay at the forefront of these developments. Carefully evaluating each, I incorporate only the best into my practice and into patient care.

I am an active member of the:

These organizations offer many opportunities for me to advance my knowledge, through meetings, lectures, seminars, online courses, and publications. I take advantage of them all.

Beyond Orthodontics

I grew up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, less than a mile from Nancy, the woman I’d be fortunate to wed. After finishing my schooling, we came to Arizona and settled in the Tucson area.

We moved to Scottsdale in 2014, and love this vibrant valley and all it offers! Free time finds me practicing golf, swimming, and hiking our local mountain trails.

Nancy and I enjoy frequent visits to Milwaukee to see family and friends, and where I check in on colleagues at Marquette University. We also like getting away to a Caribbean island where we’ll be found relaxing on the beach with our three kids. Trips to NYC to visit our children happen, too!

Being an orthodontist brings me immense joy and fulfillment. Reflecting on my own experiences as a child, where I felt self-conscious about my smile due to my prominent front teeth, I vividly recall the profound impact orthodontic treatment had on my life. The moment people started complimenting my transformed smile, not only did it boost my self-confidence, but it also ignited a deep passion within me to assist others in experiencing the same transformative journey.

Education and Experience

I pursued my dental education at the esteemed University of Southern California (USC), where I had the privilege of serving as the vice president of my class. Upon completing my studies, I was humbled to be recognized for my achievements by being inducted into the prestigious Omicron Kappa Upsilon Dental Honor Society. To further specialize in orthodontics, I pursued my training at Loma Linda University in California. Since 2008, I have dedicated myself to the field of orthodontics, successfully completing over 13,000 orthodontic cases throughout my career.

Continuing Education and Professional Affiliations

Since completing my studies at Loma Linda University, I have made a consistent commitment to continuing my education, recognizing the ever-evolving nature of the orthodontic field.

Furthermore, I have been fortunate to learn directly from Dr. Grob, allowing me to enhance my skills in pediatric orthodontic treatment.

Beyond Orthodontics

I derive great pleasure from engaging in competitive activities and following various sports, with football, basketball, and Formula One ranking among my personal favorites. During my leisure time, I find immense joy in traveling, often opting for destinations with warm and sunny climates, particularly beach locations. Additionally, I find relaxation and entertainment in watching movies and documentaries, indulging in rounds of golf, and cherishing the role of being a loving father to my two incredible teenage children, Chloe and Carter. My soulmate, Autumn, has been my devoted partner for over 15 years, and our family is complete with the delightful presence of our mini golden doodle, Charlie. Faith holds a fundamental place in our family life, and I make a dedicated effort to read the Bible on a daily basis, seeking spiritual guidance and fulfillment.
